The silvery white, downy young foliage of this Whitebeam or Mountain Ash tree is striking in the spring and develops into corrugated, grey-green large, rounded leaves with pale undersides. Corymbs of white flowers appear in April-May and are followed by orange-red berries in the autumn that are popular with the birds.
Lutescens will grow in almost any position and will do especially well in alkaline, lime soils although acid soils needn’t be avoided. This attractive ornamental tree with an upswept, compact habit will tolerate pollution and exposed positions. Russet and gold autumn colour complements the vibrant berries. A very attractive small/medium sized tree to brighten up any space this Whitebeam tree will grow 6 x 3 metres in 20 years.
